Dear <<First Name>>,
The beginning of Fall and the school year is an exciting and busy time. Our young ones have returned to school and that often means an increase in stress on everyone’s physical and mental well-being. Insufficient sleep, over-scheduling, high-stakes testing, after school sports and activities, homework, and inadequate nutrition are all abrupt and demanding parts of the return-to-school experience.
Our team of acupuncturists at ACNJ understands these issues well. We are also parents who have gone through these experiences with our children and we have noticed that these pressures have grown over the years so we wish to offer our expertise and empathy to parents and young people in several areas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR INFECTIONS, ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can naturally strengthen the immune system, reduce congestion and allay allergy symptoms. This helps reduce transmission of cold and flu and reduce the risk of pediatric asthma and the need for steroids and antibiotics.

BETTER SLEEP. REDUCE STRESS, IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Most children (and their parents and teachers) don’t get enough sleep. This affects everyone’s immune system and reduces performance in academics, sports and professions. We are all aware of increased stress and anxiety in our children’s lives and how we want to avoid using psycho-pharmacology and instead focus on natural remedies and lifestyle modifications. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can play an important role in these conditions.

NATURAL TREATMENT FOR DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
As much as we try, it’s difficult to ensure that our kids are eating properly. Many suffer with food allergies and intolerances and digestive problems like IBS can occur and get in the way of school attendance and performance. Acupuncture and herbal medicine help regulate and strengthen digestion and reduce the need for medications and doctor’s visits.

TREAT SPORTS INJURIES, CONCUSSIONS AND OTHER PAIN CONDITIONS
Many active children get injured playing sports. Concussions are becoming a major problem that can cause months of debilitation and inability to perform schoolwork and participate in sports. Acupuncture works very well to reduce headaches and dizziness and restore focus and concentration. It’s great as an adjunct with physical therapy for all sports-related injuries.
Please consider using acupuncture to help treat and prevent these and other health issues. We’re ready to consult and meet with you and your children to help ensure a healthy and successful school year!
When you share your experiences with acupuncture with family and friends you probably get asked a lot of questions. Here are some FAQs that will help support them to try acupuncture so they can enjoy it's positive benefits.
